The Bengals jumped off to a hot start this season, winning four out of the first five games. Since then, the Bengals have dropped six of seven and are steadily climbing up the draft board with every passing week.
As it stands this week after the loss to the Broncos, the Bengals are now 5-7 on the year. Adding in tiebreakers, this gives them the 12th-worst record in the NFL through at this very moment, which puts them in that exact spot in the current draft order.
The Bengals have four games left in 2018; the play the Chargers, Raiders, Browns, and the Steelers to close out the year.
